What are the characteristics of modern middle school students?
First of all, I want to affirm that the mainstream of contemporary middle school students is good: loving the motherland, being positive, studying hard, full of vigor and vitality, and determined to revitalize China are the mental outlook of most modern middle school students; Active thinking, agility and wide interests are the main manifestations of contemporary middle school students. It is the common aspiration of contemporary middle school students to be willing to explore and accept new knowledge and new things, eager to understand the long history and splendid culture of the motherland, the brilliant achievements made by the motherland in the reform and opening up, and the grand blueprint for the construction and development of China in the 2/kloc-0 century. Bingley has a lot of classmates like these good mainstream aspects.

Secondly, we should also see that in the new era of reform and development, and today when the social situation has undergone complex and profound changes, many new problems and new situations have emerged among middle school students. Some investigation reports on the actual situation of students in Gao Bin are as follows:

(1) Learning pressure is still the first pressure for middle school students. Under the influence of the idea of "exam-oriented education", middle school students study for a long time, have less extracurricular activities, have more reference books and homework, and teachers are unwilling to innovate teaching methods and means, lacking pertinence and effectiveness. Take the ideological and political course in Gao Bin as an example. Teachers still have to repeat a lot of exercises and mechanical memories. Teachers and students in the graduating class have to cope with their study and work every Saturday afternoon. According to the survey of Gao Bin, "study pressure is still the first distress of students" accounts for 45.4%, but it obviously shows the characteristics of grades. The more senior three students are, the more worried they are about not being admitted to key high schools or universities. With the approach of the college entrance examination, the psychological pressure brought by "training for thousands of days and using soldiers for a while" is increasing. The mentality before the exam and the mentality in the examination room have become important factors for middle school students to exert their abilities, so the number of students worried about abnormal performance in the exam has increased significantly.

(2) Students' learning motivation pays more attention to their own development. Education in China gives people the impression that students study for society and family. However, in a class meeting held by Class 230, I found that students study for their own growth and success, accounting for 5 1.8%, making themselves more successful in the future accounting for 39.2%, and making contributions to the country accounting for 25%. Students are eager to realize the value of life, and students pay more attention to their future potential, because growing up in a competitive environment leads to thinking more about themselves. Of course, on the other hand, it shows that they lack the spirit of unity and cooperation.

(3) Target display utility. "Can give full play to their talents and become useful talents" accounts for 27.9%, and "achieve life goals" accounts for 25.8%, which shows that it is more important for middle school students to succeed in their future career. In addition, the goal of "having the right to work" accounts for 8.7%, which is closely related to the family environment. Some parents find a "back road" for their children before their academic achievements, so that they have no lofty ideals and waste their time.

(4) The value orientation of middle school students is self-interested. I investigated the employment orientation of students in Class 2 14, Class 2 15, Class 229 and Class 230 in No.1 Middle School, and found that more than 60% of the students yearn for noble, decent and wealthy careers. Financial managers, leaders of enterprises and institutions, modern science and technology workers and other occupations have a certain proportion of first choice, and only 1.5% of students prefer skilled workers. The data shows that middle school students advocate the pursuit of high-paying jobs and are unwilling to engage in vocational and technical work of the "blue-collar" class. Of course, there is still a misunderstanding in our past moral education that "soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers." In addition, in today's open society, the decadent western values also directly test our middle school students. Middle school students' belief in Marxism has been shaken, and money worship and hedonism have grown.

(5) Tolerance has become a code of conduct for contemporary middle school students to treat their friends. Most students in Bingo were born in the middle and late 1980s and grew up in the era of reform and opening up. There are not many brothers and sisters in the family, and few families have more than two children. Therefore, what children lack now is the quarrel and companionship between brothers and sisters, and some are the love and preaching of parents. Therefore, today's middle school students are eager for friendship and understanding and communication between their peers. For the bad behavior of friends, their attitude is not simply "either-or", but more "either-or". According to an interview survey, when asked about "when your friend steals or cheats", 60.5% of the respondents answered "Don't report it and help him correct his mistake", and only 12438+0% answered "Don't report it, but cut off contacts". Tolerance has become a code of conduct for contemporary middle school students to treat their friends.

(6) From the current situation of middle school students, students' aesthetic ability is poor, followed by weak legal awareness and weak moral norms. Family life is rich, and children, especially only children, are overindulged or let themselves go. Coupled with the influence of bad social atmosphere, middle school students are easy to accept some popular aesthetic standards and hobbies, unable to correctly prompt what is true, good and beautiful, what is false, evil and ugly, inexperienced, and weak in distinguishing things, which makes a considerable number of middle school students' legal awareness and moral norms weak and dilute. In my random sampling of individual students in Gao Bin, I found that I was answering "If you have an argument with your classmates because of something, if the other party hits you, will you fight back?" When answering a question, only 42.5% students choose not to fight back, that is, to solve the problem by other means, while 33.5% students choose not to know and 24% students choose to fight back. Another example is when asked if he knows the main contents of the law on the protection of minors. Although 92.5% of the students said that they know or know a little about the main contents of the Law on the Protection of Minors, 63.5% of the students chose the answer of "a little, but not very clear", and only 29% said "yes", which shows that the vast majority of the students have only a superficial understanding of the Law on the Protection of Minors. Other online data show that juvenile delinquency has accounted for more than 70% of criminal offences, and it has the characteristics of younger age, intelligent means, gangs and violence.

(7) Sub-health is widespread. Although the survey shows that students' physical and mental activities are generally healthy, there are also some psychological problems that affect students' health. If more than 20% of the students have loneliness, serious fear, serious insecurity and shyness, girls account for a large proportion of these 20%, and more than 40% of the students lack self-confidence, shyness and are easy to feel inferior. With the development of physiology and psychology, the competitive pressure is increasing, and middle school students gradually have some unhealthy psychology: they don't want to go to school, they don't want to make progress, they give up on themselves, and they always have the idea of running away from home.
